Features of Neurons There are many different types of neurons, and they all have special functions in the brain, spinal cord, and muscles that control the body. The three neuron types (sensory ...

The drive to eat may be controlled by a very simple circuit in the brain, new research in mice suggests. Just three types of brain cells collaborate to suppress or enhance appetite, driving mice ...

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

In a new study, Northwestern University neurobiologists found the brain's internal GPS changes each time we navigate a ...

Not only was GENtoniK shown to speed the maturation of cortical neurons (involved in cognitive functions) and spinal motor neurons (involved in movement), but the chemicals were also able to ...
